For Cruz to turn this around he’s going to need Rush, Hannity, and Levin to turn on Trump 100% starting next week. Levin may do it, but Rush and Hannity are personal friends with Trump and love their ratings more than Ted Cruz.
Cruz had a chance to win the New York City values debate by offering a positive conservative message to New Yorkers, and instead he gave a cynical and snarky response. Dividing Americans isn’t going to play this election, we’ve had 8 years of a divider and chief with Obama, we need to unite.
Tell me Steve, where is the common ground between the freedom lovers clinging to their guns and religion and the secular left clinging to gun confiscation, the elimination of religion and banishment of anybody who disagrees with them?
Very close to true....I wrote an article MONTHS ago - one in Breitbart and one in American Thinker....similar articles....that the only way a conservative gets the nomination is by winning the "Limbaugh Levin Drudge Breitbart Hannity Beck talk radio" primary....that is to say.....be the candidate who gets the most love over all from those outlets.
Clearly that has been Trump to date....over all. But clearly, over 20-30 years of knowing what Rush and Levin and Hannity stand for....Cruz is the most common sense place they would land.
Now you're right, so far only Levin has been grown enough to put personal friendship aside and be reasonable. Rush is still the fat kid from high school desperate to sit at the cool kids table....which is why he was SLOOOOW to understand Karl Rove and W Bush. As big as he is, his head is still turned by celebrity.
